Directed by Willard Huyck & Gloria Katz
Filmed in 1971, released in 1973
“An undervalued gem of American gothic filmmaking.” – Slant Magazine
“… somewhere between the low-budget ingenuity of Carnival of Souls and the mood of a Dario Argento or a Jean Rollin work. Exquisite death scenes take place in the most mundane of settings that are made all the more unsettling by Huyck and Katz’s command of negative space in their ‘scope’ shots.” – Brooklyn Magazine
This film is presented by Videotheque co-manager Lucé Tomlin-Brenner
